So a guy that worked there, his street name being "Tin Tin", turned out to be a fantastic free-hander and had gotten accolades.

I just told him to free-hand a design in pen, down to my wrist, and try to make it flow with what was already there.

He was on point first try. After that, it was head nods and he got to work.

To this day, if you go to that ink shop, you'll see my photo in big print on their main wall.
Tin Tin is excellent in tribal detail and clarity.
Slow, but effective.
